What’s Zoom Whitening?

Your teeth may become discolored for a variety of reasons. Drinking tea, coffee, or red wine can cause your teeth to yellow. Some medications, smoking, and aging can also discolor your teeth. If you find your teeth are not as white and bright as you like, you can get them whitened easily and quickly at your dentist’s with Zoom whitening. Zoom is a safe and easy way to lighten your teeth and get a bright smile.

How Zoom Whitening Works

Zoom whitening uses a 25 percent hydrogen peroxide solution which is applied to the teeth. Your teeth are then exposed to the special Zoom light. The light reacts with the hydrogen peroxide and as the hydrogen peroxide breaks down it allows oxygen to enter the enamel and dentin of your teeth bleaching the stains and whitening them. The structure of your teeth are left unchanged but they appear much brighter and whiter.

The Zoom Whitening Procedure

Before the procedure begins your dentist will examine your teeth and gums. A regular teeth cleaning may take place before the Zoom whitening procedure. To begin the Zoom whitening session you lips and gums are covered and your teeth are left exposed. Zoom hydrogen peroxide whitening gel is applied to the teeth and is left in place for 15 minutes while begin exposed to the Zoom light. During this time you can watch TV or listen to music. This is repeated two more times for a total of three 15 minute treatments (45 minutes). Right after the last treatment a sensitivity reducing fluoride paste/gel is applied to the teeth.

After Zoom Whitening

Your doctor will give you an at home kit to use for touch ups. This kit contains custom fit whitening trays and your doctor will instruct you on their use. Avoid things which will stain your teeth such as red wine, coffee, tea, and smoking. Continue to brush and floss and keep up on your regular dental visits. Your doctor may also recommend a whitening tooth paste to help maintain the whitening effect.
